Roller Coaster Amnesia?

Hm... I was just curious to see if you guys have that. I don't know, I remember riding a roller coaster, but only some parts of it, after about like 2 weeks, I really lose a lot of memory of being on the ride. For instance, I went on the Hulk at IOA, and I remember the launch, and the first HUGE elements (Roll, Cobra, Loop) but after that, nothing. I dont remember hitting the extra loop, going through the MCB, nothing. Do you experience this?

I have this too, especially on the more intense rides. I think its because I'm enjoying the experience so much that I don't really pay attention to the track itself.

I only remember like 5 seconds of TTD.

So like one fourth of the ride.

That said, I remember cresting the tophat and nothing else.

So true, even Troy, which I have ridden like 250 times, still fades away after I ride it.

Nope, I'm the opposite usually. I ride something once and remember the layout for years, haha.

I remember layouts perfectly, but the forces they exert the exact experience fades sometimes.

I rode Cedar Creek Mine Ride probably 30 times one weekend and all I remember is a helix into the first drop. And nothing else, haha.

the only ride i remember is medusa at SFDK, only because i've been on it literally over 1,000 times. ^ and the only reason that you remember the layout is because your a roller coaster junky too.

Same here, and I don't pay attention too much when I'm on it either, it just sticks with me.

On the bigger coasters i've usually have no problem with that. But on the smaller coasters it's different. I'd probably don't care enough about those that i'd forget that stuff.
But on the other hand. I do forget sometimes the ride experiences on the coasters. I do know if the ride was good or not, but WHAT it made good or less good. That's something i'd would have forgotten then.

I think you're all just retarded
